i used to have an ibanez set to standard A for a few years... too low if you ask me now thumbsup if you were to put that in dropped LOW G, you might need a thicker string

what i used was a pack of 13's and a 60 for the low E, it wasnt floppy for me, and the intonations was as low as it could possibly go. You should be fine with that tension, maybe take it in and get it set up by someone you trust.

Also, when you put a larger set of strings on the guitar, they sit too high on the nut and it needs to be filed down so the proper height of the string is achieved.

Hope that helps some
